In San Francisco, it could be hard to grow your own produce especially when your place doesn’t get a lot of sunshine. My luckiest spot is the window sill in my kitchen. There you will see a lineup of growing basil, mint, green onions, celery, and succulents. Some of them I got as gifts while others…
3 Last Minute Halloween Recipes, Vegan Filipino
Originally, I wasn’t going to post anything about Halloween. After all, the Filipino tradition of Halloween is a religious event where Filipinos flock to the cemeteries to pray for their deceased loved ones. No costume parties, no Halloween feasts, no trick or treating. Times have changed and I would hear about some of my nephews…
Vegan Tapa
Mock meats could be such a debatable topic for most vegans. Some say it’s a great vegan option for those who miss meat while others advocate sticking to celebrating food that does not resemble an animal product. While I love to celebrate vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, and nuts, I don’t mind mock meats. As vegan blogger,…

Gluten-free is still an alien concept to many people including myself. Aside from the obvious -there’s no gluten in the food, I found the whole thing baffling. What’s wrong with gluten in the first place? Without research, it would be convenient to assume that gluten-free is a diet trend for the health-conscious folks, like Atkins (no carbs) or…
How to Make Vegan Pancit Palabok (Newly Improved Recipe) (Gluten-Free)
Undeniably, Pancit is one of the most recognizable Filipino dishes in the US. After all, it’s a savory noodle dish always present at parties and potlucks.

Kitchen Solutions: Freezing Citrus Juice
Have you ever received tons of fruit harvests from family and friends? Here in California where the weather yields to a favorable harvest every summer, I would get bags and bags of lemons and kalamansi (a Filipino citrus that also grows in California). I would be so delighted when I get them! The only thing is, I…
10 Vegan Filipino Soups and Stews for Fall
To me, fall season is the season for soups and stews. Since I was a kid, I’ve always loved hearty stews. Granted there was no fall season in the Philippines (only summer and winter), stews have been my choice of dish. My stews are now vegan but they are just as hearty and comforting as my childhood…
Low Carb, Low Sugar “Fried Rice”
Every once in a while, I would get requests for low carb recipes. Admittedly, low carb is not my forte. I just need to have my heavy comfort food. But when I visit my parents and plan to cook for them, I realize I do have to mind what I put on my pots and…
